*******************

Dear —-,

We are having an amazing impact on defeating the so-called Trans
Pacific Partnership, but only because tens of thousands of our own
participants, and many others, continue to speak out against it every
chance we get.

And we know we’re having an impact because John Boehner was on TVSunday morning literally begging for Hillary Clinton to throw her
support to it. Imagine that, begging for Democrats to help support
this toxic turkey, so fewer Republicans have to suffer the inevitable
blowback. Does this mean he would support Hillary Clinton for
president in return?

If you need to know more about why this thing is so bad, please read
the link in the petition text on the action page itself below about
the ties to multi-national corporations.

This last weekend the House Majority Leader said this on Meet The Press about the so-called Trans Pacific Partnership:

“We’ve got the majority here in the House and the Senate, but we can’t do this by ourselves.”

Since when did a party in total control of Congress not have the power to pass anything they want?

And the answer is, since someone tried to browbeat members of the House in particular into passing one of the most repulsive and deceptive measures ever, to abdicate all meaningful congressional authority over trade policy, and by top secret agreement to surrender the interests of the American people to the tender mercies of multi-national corporations.

This is one toxic hot potato. Drop it. And leave it dropped.
